with evident relish. The Layout" was nit

and everything else that one could wish for
In Than ksgiving dinner was there. Ii it
was not there, at each end Of the table stood
a figure fitted out with white shirt frontal
and dress suits, and looking as if ready To
spring at a seconds notice TO wait on the
slightest wish OF tnose st the table. The
SIDES Of the room were freshly covered with
elegant wall paper Wsth hne border,
chandelier hung from the ceiling with two
| fancy globes, tue DOG lay on the mat at the

| hungry man envious. but none of the em-
| ployes about the Tower had time 10 think
| OF eating, or the Thanksgiving of the NOR
| row during the day, for yesterday was one
| of the busiest days of the season. and at
night before any Lad time TO look with

In the description of the dinner party in
their windows we failed TO mention that al
the people at the table wore suits from the
stock Of the Tower Clothing Company bor'
! T0wed for the occasion. And The dress
suits on the walters we're from tne same
source and are furnished at sstonishinglJ
low figures. Il would seem that the Tower
| Clothing Company was bound to shake th'
| clothing interests of this citv TO their very
foundations for there will probably be feE
| dinner parties today where as good suits
will be seen for IS little money As are 70 be
seen in the Windows OF the Tower Clothing
